Short chassis AC competition sports cars

Sir,

In conjunction with John McLellan (PVT Registrar of the A.C. Owners Club) I am trying to complete a Register of the short chassis AC Competition Sports cars built in the period 1935 to 1939.

Of the 43 cars built, 30 cars are known to still exist and two are known to have been scrapped; the remaining 11 cars are listed below:

Regn. Chassis No.  Body type

CUC 958 L359 Slab tank

CLT 730 L366 Slab tank

DPD 687 L367 Slab tank Monte Carlo Rally 1936

              L465 Slab tank exported new USA

EPF 240 L473 Slab tank

JYV 823 L478 Slab tank in USA 1949

EPH 181 L486 Slab tank last known 1963

              L516 Slab tank exported new USA

DYN 240 L573 Slab tank last known 1958

HPC 185 L597W Sloping tail (wide track)

Any information on any of the above cars, which readers may be able to give, would be greatly appreciated.
